I was leaning towards a pair of sm-81's, but I've been eying the MC012. (overheads and general stereo pair) And I think I can get what I want out of the MC012 a little cheaper (which will leave me with some money for preamps :D) I'm thinking I'll get two preamp bodies from the Sound Room, two...

This question is pretty much specific to Vegas, but I think it will be better here... hopefully someone will know... I started a project in Vegas in 24/96. After getting into it, and getting up to like the 16th track, I found that my system was having problems keeping up. So, frustrated I...

It's got me. I can't track a vocal without using my dbx compressor in overeasy mode. It just sounds better. more alive, it's not transparent compression but that's what i like about it. it gets all breathy, but it dosen't have any pumping and breathing. I like it at about a 2.5 to 1 ratio...

Do you consider what you write "songs" or "pieces"? Or call them something else... like "tunes" - "hey man I've got some new tunes" (I slap myself when I find myself saying this :D) It seems I call some things songs and other pieces. I'm working on something now that defitly was a song...

You know the stuff. Great stuff. That spray insulation stuff that you spray around window AC's and such. I need to "stuff" the holes along the cieling in my practice/tracking room. It's an aluminum shed, panels and channels, I need to fill in the open space that the channels leave when the walls...

It seems Gadgetlabs are in trouble. I have never head a bad word about them here, but in other foruns, it's like the Salem Witch trails (mostly Cakers- what would you exspect :D) Now it has been repoted that their phone has been disconnected... hmm... Man I really hope they haven't gone under-...

I recorded my bands project in Vegas. Now I am using Cubase, and I like it better! So I'm trying to figure out a way to easily transfer the project from Vegas to Cubase. It would be a hell of a lot of work to manually line up all the wave files in Cubase, so is there another way? Someone should...

I just got a Yahmaha 350 W stereo power amp for $325. A blem at musicians friend. Way to max out the credit card! woo hooo! Can't pass up a deal. cool that's less than $1 a watt! So what do people think of Yamaha power amps? I need this for PA, I probably wont use it for recording monitors, I...

My studio is in a big aluminum rectangle. :D the are two small rooms built in, which have some insulation. The biggest problem with noise are these hollow doors, I'm hoping to "stumble" across some solid doors soon. The big tracking room has nothing. no insulation what so ever. it gets plenty...

I've been using Vegas for a while now, but I'm checking out Cubase. I've figured it out ok, so far so good, except for it's editing capabilities. The thing that's driving me nuts is the damn snapping when I try to move an event. I have a snare track that has drifted a few ms. off from the other...

the vocals are scratch for the most part, so go easy on me there. Again, it's pretty long. 6:23 This "mix" is with no eq, no effects, I just needed to get it on the web so my drummer could hear it (he's in california right now), but I'm giving you guys a sneak peak. This is part 1. there are...

I can play back 14 simultaneous tracks in Vegas no problem (maybe more, but haven't had to yet) But If I am recording, I can only listen to six while I record. Is this normal? What would allow me to run more trcks while recording? is it a ram issue? I have 128 MB now, but it dosen't seem to be...

I bet you all thought I was crazy when I mentioned this like four months ago... looks like its on the market finally. I have to rant about this one (again) A tube digital/analog converter (well an A/d converter with a tube front end) sheesh! look out Apogee!!! ha ha. Wow! if I put this tube in...

check it out guys. It's been soooo long since I've posted anything here. This is a rough mix- no plug in's, just a smigen of the track EQ in vegas and some dither. http://www.mp3.com/3ln -jhe

I've been running 2000 and 98 on a dual boot system. I was trying to "trick" 2000 (i'll explain later) But, so now 2000 just restarts the computer when it tries to load. I don't have a boot disk for 2000(couldn't figure out how to do it in 2000 :) ????) and I'm not sure how to fix it. I thought...

Well, at least i'm writing again, but I'm thinking it's all trash. I figure get in a little deeper and the good songs will start again. Hell, the way I'm feeling these days, I think I'm already in the deep end. But hey, do you know when it gets good, can't you feel it. It was good for about 5...

I need an amp for my PA and my 20/20's. Can't afford two seperate amps so I need somthing that will do double duty... I've got three prospects on my list so far (budget <>$400) Mackie M-800 Yamaha XS250 QSC RMX850 I'm leaning toward the QSC... dunno why really, but the powerlights they had at...

Damn Gremlins! Sometimes in Vegas I get these NASTY clips inside the waves. You can hear them, definitly, but you can't see them until you zoom in on the peaks. Usually after I just forget about it, work on something else, reboot, and comeback, they are gone. Very strange. What the hell could...

I got my Event 20/20's today. $99 each at Guitar Center. (killer deal- sale ends Wednesday so snatch them up! they had three left in VA beach after I got mine- I dunno if all GC;s have the same sale price) Wow! what a difference! Hey I might actually make some decent mixes now! So that make...

I was getting a wierd noise coming from the mic on the 16" floor tom tonite. At first I thought it was something on the drum rattling. We ruled that out, soon we realized that it was the little windscreen/cover on the top of the 57 resonating/rattling with the drum. I put some tape around the...
